About this award

You can receive $1,000 from this bursary. There are 2 awards available. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you live in the Deh Cho or Sahtu region of the Northwest Territories, have worked hard to improve your grades and are continuing your studies in a diploma-track program. You must apply by November 6th. No notification timeline is posted publicly — when you apply, ask Aurora College / Enbridge how and when you'll hear back via email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Aurora College / Enbridge how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Aurora College / Enbridge during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Aurora College / Enbridge whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Tips for applying

• BiographyAvoid writing a generic summary of your life. Instead, focus your brief biography on the specific ways you improved your academic performance over the last year. Mention a specific habit or resource that helped your grades go up.
• SupportAvoid submitting a transcript without checking for errors. Instead, ensure your previous year's transcript clearly shows the academic growth you are claiming. Highlight the specific terms where your improvement happened.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to mail your documents. Instead, send your biography and transcripts well before November 6th to ensure they arrive at the Office of the Registrar in Fort Smith on time.
• RealismAvoid counting on this bursary alone, since only 2 awards are available. Instead, treat this as a helpful addition to your financial plan while you continue to look for other regional bursaries.
